  QUESTION:
  May Tom change the ball before holing out?
ANSWER:
This rule was changed as of January 1, 2023. The new rule states: Substituting the ball during play of a hole isn’t permitted unless the rules explicitly allow it, e.g. when taking relief. If Tom played the substituted ball, his stroke would count, but he’d incur 1 penalty stroke. Rule 6.3b(3).

  QUESTION:
  What’s the ruling?
ANSWER:
This rule was changed as of January 1, 2023. The new rule states: If a ball played from the green hits and is deflected by an insect, the stroke counts. Chip must play his ball as it lies. (If it was an animal other than an insect, worm or similar, the stroke wouldn’t count, and it would have to be replayed without penalty.) Rule 11.1b(2).
